How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days. For a rural address like Hunston, we plan the journey in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. We bring everything needed for the tile repair, so there is no second trip.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. In an older home in a village like Hunston, replacing a tiled area can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.

Our tile repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Hunston

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed quotes from pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
